Detect
Can controlled navigation reveal subtle cognitive changes that conventional tasks may miss?
Neurocognitive Navigation
What happens when the brain begins to lose its ability to remain oriented?
Alzheimer's disease is usually described through memory.
ibiLab also approaches it through navigation, orientation, and the stability of internal spatial representations.
We investigate spatial navigation, route learning, path integration, and cognitive mapping as windows into changes associated with entorhinal-hippocampal function.
From memory loss to loss of placeness.
When the Map Begins to Disappear
Understand
Which parts of the navigational scaffold become unreliable first?
Rehabilitate
Can adaptive spatial tasks help investigate strategies that support remaining navigational ability?
Potential Measures
- Path integration
- Landmark use
- Route learning
- Spatial memory
- Movement trajectories
- Behavioral strategy
How we describe findings
- Candidate digital markers
- Sensitive navigation phenotypes
- Early cognitive signatures
Deliberately cautious language. ibiLab does not claim diagnostic performance, and will not until the evidence exists.
Clinical and Academic Collaboration
We welcome conversations with
- Memory clinics
- Neurologists
- Cognitive neuroscientists
- Aging researchers
- Rehabilitation researchers
